Rutgers Future Scholars is a higher-education program affiliated with Rutgers University that seeks to broaden access to higher education for first-generation, low-income students. Each year, it selects around 200 middle school students from New Brunswick, Piscataway, Newark, Camden, and Rahway, offering a five-year pathway that begins with pre-college experiences and continues through high school into college. The program's initial year introduces participants to university programming, mentorship, and ongoing support, and it adds to regular schooling with honors coursework, cultural events, career skills, and sports. Students who successfully complete the five-year sequence receive full tuition funding to Rutgers University through scholarships and federal grants. Based in New Brunswick, New Jersey, Rutgers Future Scholars operates within the higher education sector to address college-access gaps for its target communities. The program serves first-generation, low-income middle school students from several New Jersey towns, aiming to remove barriers to pursuing a Rutgers education by providing structured preparation and financial support upon completion.
